welll... i will have an ectra 20 long =) think one could fit in there?
unfortunately i have heard of it being done...i wouldn't though.. plus i heard gulpers in the USA are like anywhere from $100 - $500. however, i have heard of someone mentioning a vendor who sells them for $75...

their $100 tax free for me here.

so i picked up the tiles today and they were cut to size within tolerance of 2mm of my blueprint which was giving at the start of job.

its called, blue pearl granite, its mined in Norway but processed into slabs in Italy. its absolutely stunning!! i cant wait to get it in the tank!

I'm excited to see this tank. It's a bit different from what I am planning. What did you decide in terms of the driftwood?
